.avi is a container format. It can contain a divx video stream or almost any other encoding of video as well as audio streams and other media. It isn't exclusive to divx.

Or you can join Deezer and then when you're driving you can ask for whatever you want.

And you'll get a Christmas version. Or a "live" version. Or a fucking obscure cover. Every time. And god help you if you ask for an artist rather than a track. Yeesh. One obscure track by the artist followed by random tracks from German rock bands and other total irrelevance.

In summary: I love Deezer.

How long has your number been on the no-call list? We have a similar thing in the UK but it takes ages to have an effect. Months to a year.

I deal with the issue by wasting as much of the scam callers time as I can. It seems to be the best way to get my number removed.

I usually say "I'm Mr Smith's personal assistant, this sounds like something he should discuss with you. Please hold the line." And then stick them on mute and forget about it.

With the right words and intonation you can get some of them to stay on the line for AGES.

The tendency of modern mass shooters to aim for the head seems to be the result of video game culture. So it's quite likely that video games saved Trump's life!

Even "rubber" bullets are surprisingly lethal. Cops are supposed to skip-fire them, ie shoot the floor so that they bounce into a group of rioters.

At this rate we'll be renting individual strawberries to show off at parties.

(This was a real thing with pineapples, once upon a time.)

What.. uh.. what do you think it is?

British Royal Family members get similar protection. As we've seen, they have to accept the loss of that protection when they move to another country. It'll turn out to be the same for Presidents.

It's pretty common in the UK to get proper negative prices so it actually pays me to charge my car and run my AC. Octopus Agile tariff for example.

OpenRGB has a great API and command line interface for all your automation needs. Shame about your kb.

Regarding RGB: Uninstall all the shitty software and install OpenRGB instead.

Take a holiday in the Netherlands, visit any clothes shop, enjoy the length. Source: Am a 6'4 2xl Brit and shopping in Amsterdam is sartorial paradise.

In the UK, Jacamo are excellent.

Och aye tha noo.

Woke always boils down to "the extreme opposite of bigot".

A company not dumb enough to store anything in the EU, that's who. They'd be in real trouble now! Phew.

Indian accent: Hello, this is Microsoft support. Your private key is being hacked and you need to give it to us immediately for safe keeping.

WCGW?

Yeah right, you're telling me they aren't all Farage arse lickers, one and all? Pull the other one, it's got bells on.

Why aren't they angry with the tories and Farage then? They've shaped our economy into a state that's dependent on immigration while simultaneously destroying all our public services.

We have some lovely concentration camps in Rwanda, already paid for. I hear it's totally safe over there. Maybe we could use them?

Whut?
